Joshua Gibson FXStreet

The AUD/NZD is trading back into the 1.0900 handle, a level that has been trapping the cross pair for most of 2023.

The Aussie (AUD) has seen a firm recovery since bottoming out in early October near 1.0625, but bullish momentum appears to be draining out of the charts quickly as intraday action begins to print exhaustion patterns.

On the daily candlesticks, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has begun to roll over into a bearish trend after tipping into overbought territory last week, but traders will note that the Moving Average Convergence-Divergence (MCAD) oscillator still hasn't seen a slow-MA crossover confirming aa bearish bias in candlesticks yet.

The median point for price action currently sits near 1.0825 where the 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA) are currently converging as long-term momentum drifts into the middle.

GBP/USD trims gains, back to around 1.3500

GBP/USD now surrenders part of the earlier move to multi-week peaks around 1.3530 and comes close to the 1.3500 support on Monday. Cable’s uptick comes in tandem with decent gains in the Greenback, always amid persistent uncertainty lingering over the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and US-Iran talks.

EUR/USD deflates to 1.1540

EUR/USD begins the week on the back foot, retesting the 1.1540 zone as the NA session draws to a close. The better tone in the US Dollar weighs on the risk complex, sparking the daily correction in spot, always on the back of unabated effervescence in the Middle East.

Gold clings to daily gains; focus is back to $4,400

Gold picks up pace and advances past the $4,350 mark per troy ounce, adding to Friday’s gains. That said, the yellow metal keeps pushing harder despite the better tone in the US Dollar, and is closely following the Fed’s interest-rate outlook as well as developments in the Middle East

US Payrolls miss – RBA on deck tomorrow

It would be remiss of me not to kick off this morning’s report with a rundown of last Friday’s US jobs report, which was a belter. Headline payrolls fell by 23,000, versus expectations of an 80,000 gain. The BLS noted that May was revised down by 66,000 (from 129,000) and June by 37,000 (from 57,000), resulting in combined May-June revisions of 103,000 lower than previous reports.

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
